We were only in town for a couple of nights for college drop off… The house was very nice and had a very nicely refreshed interior. We would stay again!

I already can’t wait to stay here again! This was one of the best places I’ve ever stayed - the location, how well the house was stocked, all of the levels of comfort, and just an adorable place! I loved how walkable the neighborhood was and enjoying an evening sitting on the front porch. It was a bit too hot while I was in town to truly enjoy the back deck/yard, but they were great too. The host was kind and easy to communicate with. I’d recommend this to anyone!

Great space for a really great price. Loved seeing the age of the house with modern upgrades. Only needed it for a weekend but would definitely rent it again.
